Has anyone figured out a working solution to this?

[fredevery]

Not an ideal solution, but I ended up having to install an older version of graphql to get this working.

I did also. I'm just wondering since no one is responding if this project will go stale

I created an issue as well. Would be bad if this becomes stale. Such a good project...

[adviner]

I did the same but haven't heard anything. What stinks is that every tutorial uses express-graphql and to this day there is no response.

Mind that PR #793 should fix the peer dependency, among other things.

I couldn't wait anymore, so I fork the project: https://github.com/GeorgesTech/express-graphql Changes: https://github.com/GeorgesTech/express-graphql/pull/1 And I used it like this:

{
  "express-graphql": "https://gitpkg.now.sh/GeorgesTech/express-graphql/npmDist?chore/graphql-16",
}

gitpkg.now.sh allow me to target npmDist folder during install

I do not plan to maintain the fork for a long time I hope the issue will resolve soon

In the meantime, renovate/dependabot is happy

FYI, Looks like they are deprecating express-graphql in favor of graphql-http: https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql/pull/816.

This library is deprecated and it so recommended to migrate to alternatives https://github.com/graphql/express-graphql/pull/817

From the various graphql servers alternatives, in our experience the easiest one to migrate over to, almost a drop in replacement, was GraphQL Yoga with their Express integration.
